Chief Justice John Roberts answering anonymous written questions from the senators during the impeachment trial. It is brilliant and speculators guess it was submitted by Ted Cruz.

I didn’t see a lot of the Impeachment Zoo yesterday, but I did catch that. 😉
Mornin’ Gang -
Flipping quickly through the morning shows, they’re all looking a little sick when covering the impeachment hoax.
That’s always a good sign.

Alternatively, Democrats could reach the simple majority threshold with just three Republican members if the presiding officer breaks the resulting 50-50 tie. In normal Senate business, that job would fall to Vice President Mike Pence, the president of the Senate. But the rare instance of an impeachment trial is presided over by the chief justice, in this case John Roberts, who was officially sworn in for the role on Thursday.
With at least two GOP senators possibly backing witnesses — or potentially three, including Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, according to The New York Times (citing Alaska Public Media) — the contingent of defecting Republicans could put calling witnesses within reach.
Judges typically rule in favor of allowing relevant witnesses at trials and, although Roberts has offered no clues about how he would approach the situation, there is precedent for it.
In 1868, Chief Justice Salmon Chase cast two tie-breaking votes in President Andrew Johnson’s impeachment trial. Indeed, the current Senate rules for impeachment trials include a history section noting, “The chief justice has voted in the case of a tie.” (The same section says that in the Johnson trial, the senators also voted to support the chief justice’s conclusion that he could cast tie-breaking votes, noting “the Senate turned down each attempt to prevent the chief justice from voting.”)

This is an interesting story by south Florida investigative reporter, Bob Norman.
Why did Matt Drudge turn on Donald Trump ?
And since the impeachment proceedings began, Drudge has gone further anti-Trump, pounding him day after day.
I wanted to ask Drudge about his changing stance on Trump, but he hasn’t given a mainstream media outlet an interview in years. The voicemail I left him went unreturned, so last year, just as the headlines began to turn, I drove out to to Drudge’s house in a remote farming community called Redland in southwest Miami-Dade County.
I did not have high hopes of finding him. Drudge’s house, which he bought along with the adjoining property for about $2.2 million in 2013, is hidden in woods, not far from the Everglades. Pulling up to the entrance after driving on some of Redland’s idyllic tree-domed roads, I expected nothing less than a high-walled bunker. A wooden gate greeted me instead. It was wide open.
-
I started to become suspicious of Drudge, skeptical of his motives, when he began linking to Alex Jones all the time, well before his turning on Trump.

Texpat, I got my Habanero Suet, yesterday and I’ll let you know how it does. Not sure about the squirrels but it works real good on old Rednecks. I opened the package early this morning while I was having my coffee. I didn’t touch the suet but I wadded up the wrapper in tossed it into the trash. A couple of hours later, I rubbed my eyes and DAYAAM! they burned, I’m just now getting over it after flushing my eyes with water and using some eye drops. I guess that capsaicin oil, sticks to your skin readily. 🙁

My father had a mild heart attack this morning and is now in the Medical Center. He’s only 87, which is still young in my family. Prayers appreciated.
THanks. -
My #11, do any of y’all use Amazon? My wife has a Prime Account, whatever that is, and shipping is free. I don’t know how many distribution centers they have but I ordered the suet on Tuesday and it arrived yesterday about noon.

Bones, prayers on the way.

Good gloomy morning Hamsters. Started off at 48 at 6 and have made it to 50 by 8:15 under a murky, gray overcast. This does not encourage expending a whole lot of energy in the morning routine.
Poking through yesterday’s mail yesterday I cam across a rather interesting mailer from AARP announcing a FREE Gift for new and renewing members. Said free gift is an insulated trunk organizer as a thank-you for signing up.
The gift looks to be a helpful item for holding groceries, travel accessories, gym equipment, and other stuff. However, this is the first time I can recall AARP offering something like this in a mailer sent to the immediate world. Perhaps there has been a slowdown in membership? Enough senior people have caught on to AARP’s liberal bias at last and are avoiding joining? This is perhaps a small thing, but it is interesting. The organizer could be most helpful in which to carry Trump re-election campaign material for instance. 🙂

I have Prime. It’s quite useful.
Hubby’s college buddy, a bit of an engineering genius, recently landed a job at the local humongous distribution center here in the Houston area.
He is not allowed to sit down, must go up and down stairs all day, and runs around putting out engineering/equipment fires.
The guy is, I believe, 65 years old or thereabouts. He’s lost about 20 pounds since beginning the job.
-
#12 No better place to be than the Med Center when a major health problem develops.
#13 – I use my Prime account since it’s easier to find what I need and wait a day than to run all over town to find out no once has whatever it is that I might need. Plus movies, music, etc. on my Roku. I’ve dumped Netflix since there is nothing but gay and black coming out of there these days. I don’t care much for Bezos, but by gosh Amazon delivers, is easy to use, and if it doesn’t fit, they take it back and pay shipping to do so. The few times I’ve had a problem, there is no wait to talk to CSR, and problem is normally resolved in a couple of minutes. And I’m the world’s biggest complainer if it isn’t right.

I’m just now getting over it after flushing my eyes with water and using some eye drops. I guess that capsaicin oil, sticks to your skin readily.
I did the same thing the first time I used it and I know better. I forgot to warn you about the capsaicin on the suet. Whenever I handle the Hot Suet, I use disposable nitrile gloves and do it carefully. I still wash my hands thoroughly afterwards.
-
Amazon, if you return something, you take it to UPS and they box it up, hand you a receipt and send it off for no charge. But the best part is that when you get home and look at the account, they’ve already credited you for the return.
-
Thank you all for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers.
#18 TT: I bet the guy feels great getting all that exercise.
-
There’s a lot about Amazon and Bezos to dislike. However, we have and still use Amazon Prime frequently. The free benefits are nice, too. One of the things I’ve found frustrating is many retailers no longer carry the depth and variety of inventory they used to and I’ve had to resort to the internet. A number of retailers in America seem to be caught in a self-fulfilling death spiral by cutting staff, merchandise and then wondering why customers flee to Amazon.
-
#20 Texpat, I should have know better, I was careful not to touch it, I even dumped the suet into the cage holding the outside of the plastic case, but I wadded up the wrapper and that’s when it got on my hands. Amazingly it was over two hours before I rubbed my eyes. Anyway, I’ll be more carful next time.
Did I tell you about the time, we ground up cayenne pepper, (dry) in the blender? Let’s just say I had an interesting trip to the bathroom. 😉 -

On four floors, Robert Packett, Amazon Regional Director said, merchandise will be stored and sorted with the help of hundreds of 350-pound robots. Within 15 minutes of an order coming in, Amazon will determine which of its distribution centers is best equipped to fill the order. A robot will retrieve the item from product pods using bar codes, all the action done in coordination with other robots on the floor, also filling orders.
The newest, most advanced Amazon distribution facility (855,000 sq.ft.) in the world is located in Bessemer, outside of Birmingham.

#23 Amen! My thoughts exactly. I’ve never been a shopper, I’m a buyer, I go to the store and expect to get what I need and leave and that is getting harder all the time. Of course, in this one-horse town, it’s hard to find a lot of things. Macks Hardware, the last of the real Hardware stores, shut down about 20 years ago. I loved going there when I was a kid. It was a narrow, deep two story building without a second floor. That is the walls were lined from floor to ceiling with shelves and there was an oak ladder on both sides mounted on rails so you could climb up to get what you needed. The ladders had to be 15 feet long. On the back shelf near the floor there were boxes of shotgun shells and 22 rounds, beside the steel traps and in the back corner A wooden crate with about 20 sticks of dynamite in it. They also most of it stored in a shed behind the store.

Somebody just described Nadless as a walking colostomy bag. I couldn’t agree more.

#25, I didn’t know that, neat. I’d have guessed Hotlanta but Alabama has been aggressively, recruiting companies to settle here, for about 20 years. There is a huge grocery distribution center being built in the little town of New Brockton, off US 84. They’re replacing a smaller one that has been there for years. This is after one big company swallowed up two smaller companies, one of those, in New Brockton.

I signed up for Prime when it first started. Then, I had a high dollar purchase and applied for the Amazon Visa to take advantage of the 10% discount.
I use that card exclusively for Amazon and the cash back (points) easily covers the annual Prime Membership Fee. -
Aha! Confirmation, I think. I read about this last year but wasn’t sure it could be verified. H1-B coders are not worth $9/hour.

There’s a bit of discussion on a Pearland Band Alumni site over the merits of military style, 6-to-5 marching (done with six steps to every five yards) vs. the current “show band” style that seems so popular. There is an 8-to-5 style that is faster and involves more high stepping; those tend to be more show-bandy.
Military marching is like the Texas Aggie Band. It’s what I marched in high school under the tutelage of Jack Fariss, a legend in Texas music education (now retired). It requires extreme precision, absolutely straight lines, sharp turns, and features geometric designs such as lines, diamonds, circles, chevrons, etc. Its beauty is found in the execution of a well designed program where the forms flow from one to the next, with particular emphasis on certain bars of music being made with turning the band from one direction to the next. My band uniform was, basically, a black top and bottom with an overlay that was primarily white. When we made our turns, there was a flash of a color change that could not be missed.
The show theme involves all kinds of waving flags and props, forms that are freeform, and not necessarily standard steps. I attended a band practice at my high school some years after I graduated and Mr. Fariss had retired. The new band director had gone from drum and bugle (which I detested) to the show band (which I detest even more). I was shocked to find him saying “You may have to run to get to the next formation, but you HAVE to be there by this bar!” I’m sorry, but if you are taking variable size steps or running across the field, you’re not marching.
Just my very strong personal bias.
Give me a well designed, perfectly executed, marching band program every time. Don’t try to distract me with flags, props, amplifiers, steel guitars, etc. I wonder what you’re hiding with all that flash and show. Do your folks execute sloppy work and we have to be distracted?
I wish, wish, wish I had our circle drill to “Tommy” on video. That program was so pretty, it gave me goose bumps. And circle drills are the hardest to execute – it doesn’t follow the yard markers, so it’s easy for a circle to collapse if the marchers aren’t confident in their step size or direction. Lotsa practice! We ROCKED circle drills.
-
I add that if you missed a turn, it was obvious, too. That flash when you turned made you very, very visible.
And garnering the wrath of Fariss was not something anyone wanted. We respected him so much, it hurt when we disappointed him.

Addressing a key issue in the impeachment and Senate trial of President Trump and claims the president sought a Ukraine corruption investigation of the Bidens in exchange for promised U.S. aid, the Republican said presidents have the “latitude” to withhold funding — and that several have.
Paul, a noted foe of foreign aid programs, added to Secrets, “I think the whole point is that aid is supposed to be conditional. We want something if we give them money. I don’t want to give them money anyway because I don’t think we have any money to give, nor do I think anywhere in the Constitution is it authorized to give foreign aid. So I’m proud of him withholding any aid any time he can.”

That’s been my point all along. The President has the power to withhold foreign aid.The press had been covering the Biden family conflicts of interest. The corruption at Burisma was well known.
It’s all BS.

This fraud has been paid millions over the years.
He was paid $300,000 to $500,000 just to testify in the Johnson & Johnson talcum powder case.
Hundreds of news stories cited a health care expert’s attacks on Big Pharma without mentioning that he was being paid six-figure sums by lawyers suing drug companies.
and,
Kolodny has been a popular media source according to Lexis Nexis, appearing in 704 English language news stories since January 2018. More than 200 of those stories described Kolodny as a “professor,” while more than 400 cited his work as co-director of the “Opioid Policy Research Collaborative.” Only 58 acknowledged that he served as an expert witness in lawsuits—only 12 divulged that the professor had been paid.
This is as big an example of FAKE NEWS as anything else you will read about politics.

I said the same thing. In fact, I believe any president not using the leverage of foreign aid to advance American interests is not doing his job.

General Motors has confirmed that it is dusting off the decade-dormant brand name for a battery-powered monster truck called the GMC HUMMER EV. The all-electric vehicle will be sold through GMC, rather than a rebooted standalone HUMMER division, and is set to be the most powerful vehicle GM has ever produced.
GMC says the truck features an all-wheel-drive electric powertrain with 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque that can accelerate it to 60 mph in just 3 seconds, which would rival the performance of Tesla’s upcoming Cybertruck.
An electric hummer. The jokes write themselves.

I’d admit it if I thought there was anything to it, not buying Trump was was asking Biden to be looked at because he was a potential presidential campaign opponent.

The colostomy bag just waddled up to the mike to belch out an answer to some stupid question, and the only thing I could think of is how that microphone didn’t just melt off the podium. They should at least put some hazmat warning out around him or issue suits or something. That’s got to be unbearable, unless, just like the outhouse rat, they’ve all grown accustomed to the smell. You can tell the house leaders are getting desperate since they are all starting to yell and run around with their hair on fire. Meanwhile, Cocaine Mitch is letting the Chief Justice start to get out of his box and censor one question and rebuke another questioner. He’s not elected, the Senators are. Mitch need to put him back in his place to just read the questions and not start making judgments.

Update on Bonecrusher’s father:
Both he and Bonecrusher’s mother are a bit miffed at the inconvenience of the whole ordeal. He is due in the cath lab tomorrow. Dr. Kevin Lisman will be performing. He never had pain and in the beginning; it felt like indigestion but the pressure on his chest was alarming. He is feeling pretty good overall and the outcome is highly positive.
I should add that hard-headedness and physical resilience are family gifts.Thanks again for the prayers.

Roberts didn’t like it, but a group of Senators re-wrote Rand Paul’s question and left out the name of the whistleblower, and Roberts reluctantly reqd the question. Of course, Shifft was offended and would not answer the question, and no one attempted to force him to do so.
Nothing new being asked or answered, and they are just recycling the same old questions and reading the same old answers.
Got some test results back, and it looks like my pulmonary embolism is gone, but the clots in my lower leg are still there. They are not blocking circulation, but they still pose a risk until the are dissolved and gone. I’ll meet with the Doc again Monday to get the official readings, but that is my novice amateur doctor opinion from reading the test results.
OK, they are in recess right now, and I just saw the colostomy bag walk by gnawing on a baked turkey in one hand and a beef shoulder in the other.

I eat a lot of Planter’s Mixed Nuts. I do not like the hazelnuts in there. I wish they would replace the hazelnuts with Brazil nuts.
Wiki says that Turkey produces 70% of the world’s hazelnuts in 400,000 family orchards.
The Brazil nut is a large tree, reaching 50 m (160 ft) tall and with a trunk 1 to 2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft) in diameter, making it among the largest of trees in the Amazon rainforest. It may live for 500 years or more, and can often reach a thousand years of age.[7] The stem is straight and commonly without branches for well over half the tree’s height, with a large emergent crown of long branches above the surrounding canopy of other trees.
Brazil nut trees produce fruit almost exclusively in pristine forests, as disturbed forests lack the large-bodied bees of the genera Bombus, Centris, Epicharis, Eulaema, and Xylocopa which are the only ones capable of pollinating the tree’s flowers, with different bee genera being the primary pollinators in different areas, and different times of year.
Brazil nuts have been harvested from plantations, but production is low and is currently not economically viable.Okay, class. You can go outside now.

I like Kroger brand mixed nuts, and they always have some Brazil nuts in the mix. Recently I bought a can of a Kroger sub-brand called Nutty by Nature. I was astonished by the number of Brazil nuts in that can. I like ’em, but still I was surprised how they could put so many in, crowding out the pecan halves and almonds.
-
Just remember, only 2-3 Brazil nuts a day.
Otherwise you’ll overdose on selenium and turn into Jerry Nadler.

I read several comments on different sites and Twitter from people I assumed to be Catholics. They talked about how Kobe was brought up in a devout Catholic home by his parents. He grew up in an upper middle class environment and spent his childhood in Italy, while his father played pro ball there, learned to speak fluent Italian and only came back to Philadelphia to play at the showplace high school there for basketball prodigies.
After the big rape scandal in Colorado, he went through a period to straighten out his life and was walked through it by a Catholic priest who became a very close friend. If the things I read are true, he’s lived a quiet, dedicated life ever since then. It seems this period of his life is well known in certain RC circles.

I absolutely love Brazil nuts. I didn’t know any of that about the trees and giant bees. Good stuff. I also didn’t know about the selenium OD. Years ago, I used to buy a bag of Brazil nuts, go home and eat them like popcorn, but I’m still alive and I don’t look anything like Jerry The Nadler !

Did you hear Roberts read this question from Lieawatha?
At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution?
I guess there’s no contempt in impeachment trials. That beotch is crazy.

No, I missed that one.

Love makes the world go round, and chocolate makes the ride worthwhile. 🙂

What the impeachment trial folks need is a large supply of chocolate treats sent to break up the monotony of the proceedings. Then at least the Senate crowd might be civilized enough to quietly pass out from chocolate overload, and somebody could declare it was over because nobody in the Senate was listening to the testimony.

Good last day of January Friday morning, Hamsters. How fast the days go. Not that Spring is just around the corner of course.
This morning’s Chron front page above the fold headline reads: “GOP likely has votes to block witnesses.” And you can tell from the tone of the article by the AP (otherwise known as the Ass Press) folks they are starting to sound forlorn and abandoned in their hopes for this farce to drag on and on, when they admit there are likely not the votes for a conviction. But they gotta throw in the “likely” part to keep hope sorta alive. Pathetic.

Well, this day started with serious disappointment. Went by Alamo Tamales and Tacos to get some pork tamales for the Super Bowl. Given the gentrification of the area I wondered how long before that street corner would become a coffee joint with the pinky lifting sipping crowd. Looks like soon, they are closed.
